Record 5 1998-03-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
DEF

The state of soap in the pan, appearing in the form of "flocks or grains" of concentrated soap, in equilibrium with a lye in which the electrolyte content is equal to or higher than that defined by the graining point. [Definition standardized by ISO.]

OBS

curd soap; grained soap; kettlewax : terms standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
DEF

État du savon en chaudron, se présentant sous forme de [flocons ou grains] de savon concentré, en équilibre avec une lessive dont la teneur en électrolytes est égale ou supérieure à celle définie par le point de grainage.

Record 6 1998-03-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
DEF

The final soap-making operation by which the soap, after addition of water and/or an appropriate electrolyte solution, passes from one of the following equilibrium states with two or three phases :grained soap-lye; neat soap-nigre; neat soap-nigre-lye; in order to obtain a viscosity that permits good separation of the phases. The phases of the soap which are separated are respectively the following :soap on lye and soap on nigre. [Definition standardized by ISO. ]

OBS

finishing, fitting, pitching: terms standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
DEF

Opération finale de fabrication du savon par laquelle le savon passe, par addition d'eau ou de solution d'électrolytes convenables, de l'équilibre savon lisse, gras, [...] lessive inférieure (système invariant), à l'équilibre savon lisse gras, [...] (savon levé sur gras) en recherchant pour la masse une viscosité convenant à une bonne séparation des phases.

OBS

liquidation : terme normalisé par l'ISO.

OBS

soap on lye: term standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
DEF
